Vancouver Foundation ups arts grants in reaction to provincial cuts
The Vancouver Foundation has announced it will donate $800,000 to arts and culture groups this year, double the funding it contributed last year to that sector.
“Vancouver Foundation is stepping up to the plate,” said CEO Faye Wightman in a press statement. “We’re doing what we can to fill the need created by the recession in 2009, and the recent round of belt-tightening by the provincial government. We know in particular that many arts and culture groups are experiencing a real financial strain.”
